It's not yet the time when real estate is really booming. The housing prices in Haizhou have always been relatively reasonable, with prices above a thousand yuan, and the market is also very reasonable. Only those with immediate needs will consider buying a house, and there are almost no people who are hoarding houses and speculating.
Song Liang has a forward-looking vision. From the real estate development patterns in first-tier cities, he can see the room for rising housing prices in third-, fourth-, and fifth-tier cities in the future. Therefore, in the past two thousand years, he has attracted various investments and bank loans, and invested in three Of these properties, except for one that is still under construction, the remaining two have already been launched.
The residential complex that Li Mu's family bought was the first to be launched and has the best location. It has been sold for about 70%, but even if it still has vacancies and suitable model houses, Li Mu will never buy it.
His current idea is very practical and tacky. He just wants to spend hundreds of thousands to buy a house and put it there. The main reason is to have a private space. After buying the house, he can ask Su Yingxue to go on a date in the new house, a world for two. , a confined space is also more conducive to the development of the relationship between the two people. Another thing, the real estate market is now the best bank in the country. Throwing money into the real estate market is countless times more cost-effective than throwing it into the bank. In Haizhou, in two or three years, House prices will double.
Although Song Liang only has one suitable property at the moment, he has six model houses in this property.
There are six units in this community, so before the launch, six sets of model houses were deliberately installed, one for each unit. The decoration was specially designed by designers brought in from outside. The purpose of the design was to make the decoration as high-end as possible. , try to arouse the people's desire to buy a house as much as possible.
Therefore, he found his sales manager who was in charge of this real estate. Before Li Mu arrived in Haizhou, he found the keys to all six apartments and took him to see them directly after Li Mu came over.
Li Mu drove directly to this community called Wanying New City. Song Liang and the sales manager accompanied Li Mu to look at all six houses. The sizes of these six houses ranged from 60 square meters to 130 square meters. Li Mu liked it. I bought a large two-bedroom apartment of 106 square meters, with two bedrooms and two living rooms. The living room and rooms are large enough. In addition, the small-area rooms are too small and feel depressing. There are too many large-area rooms and they feel empty.
Li Mu decided to buy this set on the spot. The room was fully furnished with household appliances. He only needed to replace the mattress and hire someone to clean the room. Besides, whether the mattress could be used was another matter.
Song Liang knew that such a house was nothing to Li Mu, so he directly asked the sales manager to calculate a normal internal price for him. The internal price including the house and decoration was almost 300,000 yuan. Song Liang asked the sales manager to give it to him. There is a parking space in Li Mu, located just outside Li Mu's unit building.
Li Mu went to the sales center to pay the full payment for the house, and entrusted the sales manager to find a few cleaning ladies to clean the new house. He said goodbye to Song Liang and went to the furniture store for a walk.
Although it was almost the end of the year, the furniture store was still open for business. Li Mu picked two relatively high-end Simmons mattresses and had them delivered to his new house. He also bought bedding and quilts, and the new house was completed.
What Li Mu didn't expect was that while he finished building the house as quickly as possible, Su Yingxue was too busy to meet him.
Today is already the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. Starting from the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, the Su family no longer goes out to eat. The family is preparing for the New Year, and Su Yingxue has no suitable excuse to go out to meet Li Mu.
It’s New Year’s Eve in a blink of an eye. The custom here in Haizhou is to focus on New Year’s Eve dinner and then stay up late. On this day, the entire Haizhou City is basically empty, and all the businesses are closed. Almost every household is preparing New Year’s Eve dinner at home. The New Year's Eve dinner is quite sumptuous, and the work usually begins in the morning and continues until seven or eight o'clock in the evening.
Li's father and Li's mother had already bought all the ingredients needed for the New Year. The second uncle, who had recovered from his injuries, drove a family of four in his own van, and his sister-in-law's family of four came to Li Mu's house to celebrate the New Year, starting at noon , the whole family began to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.
Zhang Kexuan has been calling Li Mu since the afternoon. He has been preparing for the CCTV Spring Festival Gala for a long time. Their program tonight is scheduled around 22 o'clock, which is considered a prime time. They will soon be on the largest stage in the country. Zhang Kexuan and the other three were extremely nervous.
Li Mu teased him on the phone: "Why are you so nervous? The performances are all about lip-syncing and playing, so you don't have to worry about making mistakes in playing or singing. As long as you check your pants before going on stage, don't forget to close the front door. You... Just don’t hold the microphone backwards when the lead singer comes on stage. After a few minutes of lip-synching, you guys will really become popular all over the country.”
Zhang Kexuan said: "You put it simply, this is a party watched by more than one billion people. A little carelessness may cause embarrassment in front of more than one billion people."
Li Mu smiled and said: "It's okay, just treat it as a rehearsal. Even if you fail in the performance, it doesn't matter. On the second day of the new year, our "Oldboy" will be broadcast on more than a dozen municipal and provincial TV stations. By then, It will definitely help you save face.”
After saying that, Li Mu added: "But if you can gain some momentum and perform the Spring Festival Gala perfectly, you will definitely be the most popular male star in the country for a period of time after "Oldboy" is broadcast. "
Thinking back to the explosive scene after Xiao Shenyang attended the Spring Festival Gala, the limelight was really unparalleled for a while. It was a pity that he was unable to follow up and could not maintain this popularity for a long time. However, Li Mu had already made a complete plan for the simple plan, Spring Festival Gala After that, it will take one to two months for the public to digest their performance in the Spring Festival Gala and "Oldboy". At the same time, Li Mu also prepared two new songs for Simple Plan and let them enter the studio to record as soon as the Spring Festival is over. , and when their popularity begins to decline, they will release new songs to maintain their popularity.
Zhang Kexuan also knew that this time it was really about the fate of the band. If he performed this well, he would become a superstar. He encouraged himself and said to Li Mu: "Just wait in front of the TV. We will definitely I will perform at my best."
…
At eight o'clock in the evening, Li Mu's family had their first New Year's Eve dinner in their new home. Dad Li was particularly happy today. His grandparents were here, his second uncle's family of four were also there, and his sister-in-law's family of four were also there. Except for the eldest aunt who was going to her in-laws' house to celebrate the New Year. Outside, the whole family is here.
Nowadays, his family's life has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the life of his entire family has been greatly improved and progressed. It is also the festive season, and Father Li feels even more comfortable.
He poured a glass of white wine for himself, Li Mu's second uncle, and Li Mu, and poured a glass of red wine for the other women. The children filled the drinks. The happy father Li held the wine glass high and said to his younger brother and sister. : “With the first glass of wine during this New Year’s Eve dinner, we honor our old parents and wish them good health.”
Second uncle Li Daoping nodded, smiled and said to Li Bin and Li Fen: "And you guys, let's respect our grandparents together."
Li Mu and his second aunt's cousin also stood up. Li Mu's grandparents were laughing from ear to ear. The old couple had not been as happy as today in many years.
After the first glass of wine was toasted, Dad Li sighed and said: "Actually, I never thought that we could spend the New Year together so happily. In the past, when the New Year came, I either didn't have time to go back, and when I went back, I would go back with him. Dao Guang sighed together in private, lamenting that life is not easy... "
When Father Li said this, his expression flashed with sadness. Looking back on those days, life was indeed not easy. He and Mother Li tried their best to ensure that the family of three could survive at a normal level. Every time he returned to his hometown, he wanted to be more filial. His parents wanted to help his younger brothers and sisters more, but they were always unable to do so. For him, as the eldest son, this feeling was very painful and brought him endless frustration.
Li Mu's second uncle also lowered his eyelids and sighed deeply. It was even more difficult for him before. He had to farm several acres of land in the countryside and barely had enough food and drink all year round. He couldn't even afford the education of his son and daughter. His eldest daughter, Li Fen, was in high school. She dropped out of school before finishing school to work to help the family. If it weren't for her, the second child, Li Bin, wouldn't even have a chance to go to technical school.
Dad Li opened the wholesale department for him. After this period of hard work, he not only earned a van, but also earned an income of 10,000 to 20,000 yuan a month. He also kept his money for Dad Li. Half of the income, because Dad Li used this method to get his stubborn second uncle to agree to run the wholesale department.
Thinking of this, Li Mu's second uncle was also filled with gratitude and luck. Fortunately, he did not stupidly defend his poor dignity in front of his elder brother, which resulted in the earth-shaking changes in the family today.
Li Mu also lamented in his heart that he was reborn at just the right time to avoid the disastrous scene in his previous life. In his previous life, his parents were laid off and he failed the college entrance examination. This family of three suffered a huge blow. Four or five years from that day, it was Li Mu who The most difficult days for Mom and Dad, the kind of hardship they can't even imagine now.
At this time, Dad Li said again: "In the past, the house we lived in was small, and we couldn't bring my parents to the city to live in the city. Now it's better, and our family's life has begun to improve. No matter how high you go, the most important thing is to always maintain an upward attitude. With this second glass of wine, I wish our family the best!"
Everyone at the dinner table, young and old, was a little touched. Li Mu poured wine for his father. He raised his glass again, starting with Li Mu, and looked at the children at the dinner table one by one, and said: "Xiao Mu, Xiao Bin, Fenfen , Jiaqi, Jiale, you are all brothers and sisters. As parents, we may only be able to accompany you for another thirty or forty years, but you still have five or six years left to go. In the future, you may We may not meet in the same place, but we must remember four words. Blood is thicker than water. We must think of each other, take care of each other, and support each other at all times. With this third glass of wine, I wish you all a happy life. A bright future!”
